What TV series suffered by introducing an unnecessary romance between characters? And in the reverse, are there any TV series that suffered by NOT introducing a romance between two characters?
The show had lost its magic long before, but the Walking Dead matching up Rick and Michonne. Having read all the comics, they are so wrong for eachother. Great friends, but not relationship level. The big mistake the show made was casting a terrible actress for Andrea so they had to kill her off and thus took away Ricks love interest from the comics.
It really was one in a long list of bad decisions that destroyed an excellent show.
